[ANN] Yet another GPU miner release! [YAC]

[hax0red]

I was wondering if a 6gb card would enable future yacing? if that was the case I think it would be worth it to those who were capable of continuing to mine yac considering the diff will drop greatly when gpu's exit the scene.

good point. I was thinking to this point, can we use the crossfire cable to achieve sharing of memory among the GPUs. If it's possible, can give us a few more months to GPU mine yacoin.
Any expert opinions?

 Well linking them together would probably be hard since they are designed to run memory in parallel vs series when in crossfire but there are 6gb versions available such as the Sapphire vapor x 7970 6gb here:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202005

Exactly, ram doesn't add up in xfire, but mirrors.
A 6gb 7970 would do the trick I guess, but they are WICKED expensive. (for now)
I want 6gb 8970s :p

My GA 7970OC output 255khash using latest v7 .cl file. Anyone has higher hash?

 Getting 252 with a Dual x 7970.

i see you on yacp.coinmine.pl, how many cards are you running?

 Changed a few settings with dual x 7970 and found 5 blocks in 1.5 hours..think I might solo for a bit

Your welcome to mine at http://Pool.Yacointalk.com , come pump it for a bit and get payed out in 70 confirms and watch your stats on your mobile with our mobi web ui

 Something ive noticed with one cg miner on our pool is he is pumping out up to 80% of his shares invalid so make sure you guys set it right before you leave.
Most do but this miner pumping  up to 20% of round shares with invalids, pushing it to the limit or testing a kernel i guess

[gyverlb]

i just wish the 100% cpu bug (one core) had been fixed in cgminer, looks like i have to pay the nvidia tax

That's a driver bug, nothing cgminer can do about. Just switch your driver version (or OS, it seems it happens more often with Windows than Linux).

I'm back on YAC again.  Mining with a 7970 - HIS Turbo iceQ X2 3 GB.  I'm getting 259.  Once trick if you want to squeeze your CPU as well.  If I set the affinity of cgminer (with priority high) to one core and the affinity of the other cores to the cpu miner - I can continue to pull 259 off of the GPU as well as pull hash off of the CPU.  With litecoin - I can't do this.  My card runs cooler on YAC as well.

 Glad I'm not the only one doing this. I found I can run 6 threads on my 8350 which nets about 40 kh and I can run 3 on my athlon II x3 > unlocked to x4 @ 18-19 kh both with stock cooling, slight overclock.

trying solo-mining and no blocks solved  you're lucky man. im throwing 1.2mh/s at solo and still nothing after an hour

Exactly! That's what I wanna do...waiting for my new 4770k to get here (ordered parts)

[BlazinBeaches]

Let us know how your 4770k does, I'm wondering if AVX2 will make a difference vs the 3770k

[hpski]

Is there any reason why my 7850 only gets 10-20 kh/s? The display driver also keeps constantly crashing at what seems to be -I 9(with -I 8 being tolerable), tested on both 13.5 and 13.6 Beta 2 drivers, no change whatsoever.

Can't get the CPU miner working, either. 

[forsetifox]

I've noticed the same strange behavior after turning off a bitcoin miner. Rebooting usually fixes that.

Guys,

I set up experimental stratum support on http://yac.coinmine.pl on port 9088, however when I tried to setup yacminer it cannot connect. I suppose it doesn't support stratum in this version but I may be wrong.

It would be beneficial if someone who has enough programming skills could check the source code of yacminer and say if stratum should work or not...

Anyway you are invited to test stratum if you can

This is my own version compiled from hanzac's source with a few fixes. Nothing that should affect stratum support though.

EDIT: Same thing with hanzac's original version. Pool is rejecting all shares with the same message.

thanks for testing - i will analyze logs now

Hey guys,

I'm having an issue where my miner's performance seems to sputter out on the pools after awhile quite often (the clock rates are fine, and performance is stable on other coins...but with YAC cgminer's "Active" percentage can go anywhere from 0-80% after awhile). Anyone else seen this?

Also, I want to try out solomining, but two issues seem to prevent this:
1. yacoind cannot make a connection to the IRC server to get peers
2. All of the peers I have/find do not accept inbound connections

Can anyone provide a list of peers that accept inbound connections?

[mikaelh]

Can anyone provide a list of peers that accept inbound connections?

Here's a list of peers I grabbed from my yacoind:

Code:

37.59.119.242
199.204.38.210
184.175.53.111
88.198.92.150
109.80.94.251
198.199.80.210
106.187.96.135
50.56.186.88
54.244.109.130
140.112.183.10
95.138.185.176
72.46.155.34
95.90.147.164
174.56.58.238
110.211.43.56
95.178.181.163

I've also been having a number of issues with pools, so I'm solo-mining at the moment. Let's hope feeleep gets stratum working.

[mikaelh]

I released my own version based on hanzac's code:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=247782.0

Includes a fix for share difficulty calculation. No more bogus spam about blocks being found all the time.

Thank you!! I'm trying out your modified cgminer now... seems to work better than the one I was using at first glance. We'll see if it helps out with the pool slowdown issues I've been having. Will also test out solo mining as well with it.
